The hall was silent as the Immortal of War, the fairies, and the other immortals waited for the heavenly emperor to reveal the mission. Some of them felt fear, others felt curiosity, but none of them dared to speak. The emperor, Ming Guan, looked grave and weary. He glanced at his assistant, Li Lian, and gave him a slight nod.
Li Lian understood the signal and approached Wu Fengming, the Immortal of War. He leaned in and whispered something in his ear. Wu Fengming's face turned pale and his eyes widened. He could not believe what he had just heard, but he quickly composed himself and hid his shock. He wondered what the emperor was thinking.
